This week on the InSession Film Podcast, we discuss Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday livestream casting announcement and continue our Best Picture Movie Series with the iconic 1965 film The Sound Music! Plus, a few thoughts on James Bond’s new producers and the trailer for One Battle After Another.
– Marvel Casting Livestream (2:20)
We begin the show this week by discussing Marvel’s 5-hour livestream announcing (ahem, the first half) the cast to Avengers: Doomsday, which is now in production. It was revealed that in addition to the Marvel heroes we are familiar with inside the MCU, we are now getting our first taste of the X-Men (outside of Deadpool) and it’s going to be the original Fox X-Men cast. This actually makes a lot of sense to us given the comics and what the MCU has set up already.
– James Bond / One Battle After Another Trailer (40:56)
Last week it was announced that Amy Pascal and David Heyman will be taking over the James Bond franchise for Amazon, a decision that leaves us mixed and sort of dubious. Pascal leaves a bad taste in our mouths because of the Sony Spider-Man franchise, but her history with Bond is actually not bad and Heyman has a pretty good resume of his own. But you do wonder about the whole Amazon of it all and who’s really calling the shots. We also had to give some thoughts on Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another trailer that dropped as it looks to deliver another PTA banger.
– Best Picture Movie Series: The Sound of Music (1:13:22)
We continue this series with one of the most iconic musicals of its era in The Sound of Music. The soundtrack is so legendary that most people who haven’t even seen the film know the music extraordinarily well. Then there’s the film’s famous opening shot and transition, immersing us immediately into its distinctive camerawork and images. Julie Andrew’s gives a performance that rivals her Oscar-winning one the year before (in Mary Poppins). There’s so much to The Sound of Music that is stunning and it holds up as one of the better Best Picture winners of its time.
